Appeals in most state court systems, let alone the U.S. federal Courts of Appeal, take a LONG time. Years and years sometimes. Even after the 8th gets around to hearing it, the chances of getting cert are one in a million. And even if the Court decides the Second does grant an individual right, no right is absolute. They could strip it bare in the name of "reasonable restrictions."
